ATGll'iblG Surgical Operation
A FATAL MISTAKE.
THE Cleveland Ohio Press,
of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the Nksls->
ou%2, DR.. Thayer, the most
nent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering Sor many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement Of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone' sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful Nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. AL prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1888, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Iuckerman, DIR. Pe111er, DIR.
Arms, DR.. Gordon, d.. Gapner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his %
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
Il this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution flor
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SE1eEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence Of its
in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor Of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
sale.

ashes are made every year in New York,
and 27S, 92S loads of street sweepings were
gathered last year. Formerly the city was
paid s.. 900 a year for its sweepings, but
now they are with the ashes and garbage
dumped in the sea about eighteen miles ont.
The dumping grounds are i'll the direction of
Coney Island, and during the bathing sea-
son the scows are lowed farther out than the
distance required by law An inspector
supel'intends the dumping, and sees that the
sc0ws are unloaded only at the time when
the outgoing tide will take the refuse out to
sea. If the sea is rough the scows lie in
Gravesend Bay until it is safe to go out
scows We're anchored in the bay two days.
Men employed at unloading the scows are
occasionally lost overheard and drowned in
rough weather, but the spirit of invention
has invaded their domain also, and self
dumping scows whose loads one man can
dump in the sea are taking the places Of the
old boats.
Bones found in ash barrels are the source
of great profit to the contractor, and it is
said that he makes nearly enough from the
sale of them TO pay the city its royalty of
1926 week. They are cleansd and used
IN the big sugar Tefneries of Brooklyn as
bone black After the rags have been col
lected from the dumps they are put in iron
cages and submerged in the river several
hours. They are then sold to paper dealers,
and the citizen reading his paper and sugar
ing his coffee at the breakfast table may be
indebted to the ash barrel for the sheet on
which his paper is printed and for the white
ness of his sugar.

THE SUPREME COURT.
The Chances of a Democratic Sue
cessor to Justice Field.

The Chances of a Democratic Sue
cessor to Justice Field.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE death of Mr.
Justice Woods and the reported intention of
Mr.. Justice Field TO retire, so that he may
be certain to be succeeded by Democrat,
have drawn public attention to the United
States Supreme Court again. Already the
possible SUCCESSORS of Woods and Field are
being talked about, and the great Demo
cratic lawyers who have been practically
shut out of this court for twenty-five
years, are beginning to think that
they may soon be represented ia
it more fully than they have recently
been. As everybody knows Mr.. Justice
Field is now the only Democrat in the court.
II he should retire he would probably be
succeeded by Democrat representing his
circuit-the Pacific coast. The old money
bags have SO completely captured the poll
tics of that section that none of its best law
yers have come to Congress in recent years,
SO that the relative merits of the leading Dem
ocratic lawyers of California, one of whom
would probably be selected are not known
here. The President would undoubtedly
consult Mr. Justice Field before making the
selection. 1t is thought that the
President would appoint his sue
cessor from the Southern Circuit which he
represents. | have heard Gen. Lawton of
Georgia, Senator Pugh of Alabama, ex-
Representative John Randolph Tucker of
Virginia and Senator Walthall of Misss-
sippi. mentioned for this place. There can
be little doubt that Secretary Bayard could
have 1t if he desired it or Speaker Carlisle.
But either would rather be Chief Justice,
and neither would feel like deserving his
present duty. Attorney General Garland
would like place ON the Supreme bench
better than any other honos his country
could bestow. 1t has been his lifelong
ambition. But his unfortunate connection
with the Pan-Electlic Telephone Company,
innocent though he undoubtedly was of ali
wrong intention, has thrown such n cloud
around his name, that think the President
would not appoint him TO the Supreme
bench even if his friends asked it,

If there had been present at the National
Theatre on Wednesday evening any of the
newspaper writers who chatter about IAN
aristocratic special entrance" having been
constructed for President Cleveland so that
he might 'avoid contact with the common

opened. The President and Mrs Cleveland
sat through the evening in their box enjoy

filed out, with no footman, servant on po-
hceman in sight, and mixed as usual with
the audience advancing TO the exit. They
were not saluted or crowded or stared at
and they spoke to those they happened to
know, as anybody else would On reaching
the steps they waited and took their chance
with the rest when their carriage could be
got out of the tangle, treated with respect
full Difference by all
The President and Mrs. Cleveland have
none of that pride which apes humility"
They are not ostentatiously humble, but
they are simply and naturally democratic.
